Well, a bridge can also just _bridge_ ARP packets between two sides of the bridge. The ARP module can filter out those packets. These packets will not pass through the ARP code of the Linux kernel. Ofcourse, the ebtables ARP module can be easily adjusted for arptables
No, I think I understand the difference and why you're problem space does not intersect what arptables handles.
It may not be nice that we can't immediately just reuse ipv4/netfilter handlers for bridging, but I'm not going to require that you make that work before I'll accept your patch.
Once you work things out with Lennert and he approves the changes, I'll apply your patch. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
